Mohan Chutani Poet Verse

Goethe's Path

I would not take this forest path unless 

to your angelic threshold gate it led. 
All life, indeed the air, I do confess 

is cherished, if your esteem they spread! 


I can conclude a single thing my dear

I search for just your trail before me.
The traces only of your sign it’s clear

if I wander elsewhere, it does haunt me.


A path void of your love, I shall regret 

for I may not relate to one but you. 
My destiny is twined in you and set, 

my solace only on a path to you.

Debbie Guzzi July 5, 2014 at 8:36 AM Hi there yes the Schema poem was very hard and harder yet not to seem contrived? Just think of it as a puzzle. YOU can do it! [Above I wouldn't use the word spoor because it sounds too much like she left dropping like an animal?] Light & Love Mohan Chutani July 6, 2014 at 11:32 AM Debbie, I have now submitted my Rhyme Schema, pl. tell me if it is ok as I have not followed the 5 group rule strictly. Mohan Mohan Chutani July 5, 2014 at 9:15 AM Thanks Debbie, I have replaced it by 'sign'. I'll try the schema again. Mohan

Roy Jerden June 30, 2014 at 7:35 PM Good start, Mohan. There's a bit of choppiness and awkward phrasing here and there that could use some tweaking. Theme is straightforward. I feel the love. Mohan Chutani July 1, 2014 at 6:45 AM Roy, have carried out few corrections.Hope it seems to flow now. Mohan Mohan Chutani June 30, 2014 at 7:41 PM Thanks Roy for the read and would reexamine. Your valuable specific suggestions would be appreciated. Mohan
